How Tall is a St. Martin's 1st Grader?

1st Grade will be exploring various aspects of height and measuring in conjunction with the on-line collaborative project, How Tall Is A First Grader? The purpose of this project is to collaborate with other first grade classrooms, learn math, reading, and writing skills, find out about each other, and have some fun.

An introduction to the project:

Spring Activities:
Each 1st Grader also drew a picture of themselves compared to something the same height as they are or that is taller than they are or shorter than they are. They also wrote a sentence about what they drew.


After completing their pictures, 1st Grade played some measuring games:
